MISS I LIKE YOUR HAIR ... MISS YOU LOOK NICE TODAY ... MISS I WANT YOUR HAIR..... MISS I WILL DO MY HAIR LIKE THIS .....

MY LEGS ARE STILL PAINFUL. I HAD TO GO BACK TO HOSPITAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BECAUSE OF A HUGE KRAMP WHICH ALMOST PARTIALLY PARALISED ME.

I LEARNT THAT THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG MEDECINE YEAH! SO I AM AT HOME AGAIN. MY BOSS IS PISSED AND WANT TO GIVE ME A WARNING DESPITE MY CONDITION. ANYWAY. THE BEST THING IS THAT MY BLOOD AND URINE TESTS ARE GOOD BUT MAYBE I HAVE TO CHECK IF I HAVE ARTHRIRIS OR GOUTT. 

I ONLY WENT TO SCHOOL / WORK FOR 4 DAYS and because  of the pain that i feel in my legs even when i am sitting i had to do the minimum of maintenance with my hair SO THE FRO' WAS THE ONLY OPTION. Most of the time i always braid my hair or make a bun  for work So most of people never saw my HAIR OUT. IT DIDN'T OCCUR ME THAT IT WILL MAKES SUCH A DIFFERENCE FOR THEM. AND THE FACT THAT THE WEATHER IS SOOO HOT ( between 25° AND 30° INLONDON ) SINCE 2 WEEKS, IT CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY "TO LEAVE MY HAIR ALONE". LOL.

The reaction of people at work was so funny; They all were POSITIVE and  ENCOURAGING; They all advised me to ALWAYS WERE MY HAIR LIKE THIS. Some white female students asked me if they could do the same thing with their hair; LOL; The black girls asked me some tips ON  how I could obtain this kind of curly effect and most of them WORE WEAVES. It was very funny and interessing; Not because of the compliments and positive reactions - I AM USED TO IT -LOL; But because it brought me back to my childhood when my MUM was threading and braiding my hair by creating all sort of fantastic hairstyles like "  The Eiffel Tower", "The Bantu Knots" or "The Rasta Style";

THE ONLY "NEGATIVE SIDE " will be that each night i must  moisterise ( coconut and castor oil / water ) then do few braids because my hair become very dry at the end of the day; AND YOU KNOW HOW LAZY I  AM. LOL.

HAIRSTYLES THEY USED TO SEE ME WITH....

MY NEW EVRYDAY HAIRSTYLE ....

 BUT I MUST ADMIT, I LOVE IT AND MAYBE I MUST KEEP THE FRO' FOR GOOD. WHO KNOWS ?

BRAZIL : THE CONCEPT OF INVISIBILITY PART 2

THIS POST is the continuation of THE ONE  about how black brazillians are quite "invisible" in the Brazillian society despiste being the majority of the population according to a recent  governmental survey;
http://minasek.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/brazil-concept-of-invisibility-part-1.html;

Because i am a huge Fan of this blog http://www.blackwomenofbrazil.com/ and my sister is currently in Brazil now for three months , I follow  anything related to Afro-Brazilians more closer , ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS MADE FOR AND BY AFRO BRAZILIANS THEMSELF.
 So i came through this youtube channel via http://www.blackwomenofbrazil.com/ and discoverd this amazing program; So happy to see our Brazilians Sistas making their voices heard; Plus it is also related to my blog by adressing the african natural hair "revolution" and the black experience in general ;

 I MAY REPEAT MYSELF  AGAIN BUT CAN YOU MAKE SURE THAT BLACK BRAZILIAN ARE NOT INVISIBLE by watching this channel it is not so often that we can have theirs POINT OF VIEW. YOU will not have the opportunity to see this in mainstream media ;

THIS THE MAGIC OF INTERNET PLUS THEY MADE AN EFFORT TO PUT ENGLISH  SUBTITLES SO A LOT MORE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH AND UNDERSTAND THEM. AS YOU CAN SEE THEY WANT TO REACH AN INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE AND SHOW A DIFFERENT TYPE OF AFRO BRAZILIAN WOMAN FAR AWAY FROM THE SEXY CARNAVAL SAMBA DANCER ALWAYS FUTURED IN MEDIA.

PLEASE SUPPORT THEM THEIR VOICES NEED REALLY REALLY TO BE HEARD.
 GOD BLESS.

HENNA TREATMENT FOR THE SPRING SEASON

SORRY FOR THE LONG ABSENCE OF POSTS. I AM QUITE SICK. I HAVE A SWOLEN ANKLE.I NEED TO PUT MY LEG UP SO I CAN'T BE ON THE COMPUTER AT THE SAME TIME  DESPITE THE FACT THAT I AM NOT WORKING. SO I AM RESTING AT HOME IN VERY SERIOUS PAIN.

I JUST GOING TO WRITE A QUICK POST. IT IS ABOUT MY SEASONAL HENNA TREATMENT.

I am doing an henna treatment each season; The last time was during  the winter and i used the same ingredients and the same method check in the link below;
http://minasek.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/henna-treatement-for-hair-traitement.html

I washed my hair with  my basic soap and conditioner;  The reason i don't use Henna that much is because of the dryness of my hair just after washing it and i don't like the sensation in my hands; I need to apply more oil than usual because of this "side effect"; But i love the brown/red colouration Henna gives to" my few and already there white hair"; LOL; I made some twists for protection;

IT IS FUNNY, IT IS COOL AND IT IS TO SHARE

THE AWESOME BLOGGER AWARD

AND THE WINNER IS..... ME.












I  RECEIVED AN AWESOME BLOGGER AWARD FROM Jazzwife (http://slimwavy.blogspot.co.uk/;)
She stated that she couldn't stop including me because I LOVE MUSIC ALMOST AS SHE DOES. SO I WAS AWARDED  MORE  for my musical tastes  than MY SO BEAUTIFUL NATURAL HAIR.
BUT THAT'S FINE FOR ME. LOL.
The funny thing is when i went to her blog that day and i saw the award i was thinking "YOU BETTER INCLUDING ME IF NOT ....." So when i saw her seven choices i was like " OH NOOOO IT'S NOT FAIR" after all it is the first blog that i visit after my emails and others personal duties;  Then i continued to read and at my great Surprise I WAS MENTIONED. JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED ! LOL.

There are rules to accept the award, which requires that I share seven facts about myself and then acknowledge and award seven other bloggers:

1 - I hate THIS KIND OF CODE because i have a big prolem to identify the letters and I LOVE TO COMMENT. Sometimes i had to repeat 3 or 4 times and I don't think i need glasses;

2 - I am quite LAZY i take my time ( TOO MUCH TIME) to do something, ANYTHING;

3 - When you read my blog you must have realised THAT I LOVE WRITING TOO. When simple pictures can explain, i don't know why, i have to write a long comment;

4 - My brother is going to marry in July so I am going to France on holiday  ;Even if going to France it is not like holiday for me ( DAM! I lived there for 30 years );

5 - LATELY i  received an awful news; A young boy that i was working with was part of a GANG who raped a young girl ( SHE WAS 11 YEARS OLD) 4 years ago he was sentenced to only 6 months BECAUSE THE JUDGE SAID HE WAS COURAGEOUS TO TELL THE TRUTH. DISGUSTING !.

6 - I always wear colourful clothes when all my colleagues wear most of the time BLACK; EVEN IN SPRING AND SUMMER TIME. They told me that they don't have my creative style; I REALLY LOVED THIS COMPLIMENT. BUT the reason i wear COLOURS it is because when you look at THE NATURE in general, THERE ARE COLOURS EVRYWHERE. IN EVERY GOD CREATIONS.

7 - I LOOOOVE MUSIC THAT'S WHY I THINK I NEVER WATCH SHOW LIKE THE X FACTOR. YOU NEED A LOT TO IMPRESS ME. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST TALENT SHOWS BUT MOST OF THE TIME THE ONE WHO WINS IS NOT THE BEST AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS ALWAYS AN AGENDA TO PUSH SOMEONE. IT IS TOO PREDICTABLE.

THIS DAYS I HAVE A VERY BLUESY / JAZZY MOOD SO I LISTEN TO THIS :

I PASS THIS AWARD TO THIS FABULOUS BLOGGERS SOME ARE FRENCH SPEAKING:

MUSIC THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE / LA MUSIQUE UN LANGAGE UNIVERSEL

I LOVE LOVE MUSIC ....ANY MUSIC. WHEN SOMETHING IS BEAUTIFUL, IS BEAUTIFUL. THE PROBLEM is when some people ( Racist Western Elite People ) most of the time who always try to classify who must listen or play  a certain  kind of music;  This racist attitude has a deep influence on people; Even today a lot of people think that Classical music and Jazz / Blues are only for RICH WHITE PEOPLE. Forgetting that when these music where created they were THE POP MUSIC OF THEIR TIME. And THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE when "this same people decide that when you want to practice a certain kind of music you must be super rich or spend a lot of money on instruments; Did i have to remind you that a lot of Classical musicians  were from a poor background and end up broke ; Same thing for a lot of Jazz / Blues musicians; Very few were able to live decently during a long time from their music;

FOR ME A REAL MUSIC LOVER OR "MELOMANE" LIKE SOME POSH PEOPLE MAY SAY LOVE AND FEEL THE MUSIC WITHOUT ANYBODY WHO NEED TO TEACH  OR  EXPLAIN  TO HIM. NOBODY  INFLUENCED WHAT KIND OF MUSIC I LIKE OR LISTEN. BUT I WAS LUKY ENOUGH TO BE BORN WITH AN OPEN MIND. THANK GOD.

I came through this video by visiting one of my favoutite blog http://www.afromangocie.com/2012/05/powerful-music-kinshasa-symphony.html?showComment=1335889481474#c2231740404310655388
I don't need to add more when you will watch the video you will understand the reason of this post AND WHY IN AFRICA WE SAY THAT 1 + 1 = 3 ( i will explain this one day)
